UPDATE ON 169TI AVENUE AND NEON STREET <br />By: Steven J Jankowski; City Engineer <br />Background: <br />CASE #4 <br />At its September meeting the Public Works Committee considered what measures might <br />be undertaken to alleviate a problem which was being experienced at the corner of 169`, <br />Avenue and Neon Street with vehicles sliding off the roadway. As a part of the solution <br />the Public Works Committee directed that the Police department speed trailer be placed <br />near the intersection to alert the neighborhood of the concern of excessive speed which is <br />contributing to the problem. The speed trailer was placed at the intersection last week. <br />Attached to this case is a copy of the report prepared by the computer capabilities of the <br />trailer software. Although this report represents a twelve hour snap shot of the <br />intersection, it does appear only a small fraction of the motorists are exceeding <br />reasonable speeds. Only three of 379 (less than 1%) vehicles were found to -be traveling <br />at a speed greater than 40 miles per hour. The study also shows the maximum travel <br />speed of 87% of the motorists is 33 miles per hour or lower. The results of this speed <br />study might suggest that law enforcement be focused on the time periods shown to <br />exhibit the excessive speeds. <br />Action: <br />None required. <br />Reviewed By: <br />Director of Public Works/Fire Chief . <br />Assistant Public Works Director/Principal Engineer <br />Police Chief <br />PW: 10/19/04 <br />
